A Dark, Hurting Child??

We went to the library the other day - Adam, Will, Gise and I. The boys picked out a few movies and books, as well as myself. But as I scanned over the lot of them, I noticed Will had chosen normal, kiddy books and all the books Adam chose had dark, dreary covers and titles. Does this mean something? Is my child feeling dark and blue inside? Is he one of those kids who is going to wear black clothes in high school with a chain hooked to his wallet?

Or were there just an abundance of Halloween books out there in this fall season? Maybe the way he chooses his books by the cover is just different than the ones I would pick out. I usually pick the bright, newer books with a cool design or picture on the front. That little man just may be drawn to the dark hues.

Oh, who knows. I don't really care, but it was just a bit peculiar. Hmmm.
